Hello Folks:
I need some people to look this over and tell me if it's
ok to move on to the Future coat and try my hand at
filters and washes.
Your advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
..Mutt..

looks really nice man!

hope to see more

Jens

welcome to armor mutt! the build looks pretty good. if you're planning on doing more weathering after trying the filters then I'd say go ahead. from the pictures I can't see anything obvious that would still need to be done. let us know how you do with filters

Good Building

hi tony
it looks realy good to me but befor you seal the base coat of yellow try to spend a little time on the detail painting like the spade and the towing cables then everything will blend together when you start applying the filters and washes.
neil

Congratulation,thats really a nice clean build and basecoat.which kit is that,in what scale,and did you add the zimmerit,because it really looks good? Looking foward to more pictures.

PS if you have the kit # and any observations,pleae share, I wouldn't mind adding that beast to my collection

Thanks Neil, I'll do that. I thought you had to seal it all up first.

And Anthony:
DML #6051-1:35, 39-45 series
Aber PE, Armorscale barrel, Friulmodel tracks and Cavalier zimmerit.

The paint is the Wal-Mart we can match it acrylic.
They did a color spectrum analysis of Tamiya dark yellow.
The cost was $6.00 a quart. The paint was kinda thick so I thinned it
with tamiya thinner- 2 parts thinner 1 part paint.

The kit built very well with just the normal amount of clean up. It was the PE and
tracks that had me talking to my imaginary friends.

For a first time tank builder,ive made it this far and the JT is still in one piece, not
bad for me.

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Good looking build and finish so far Tony. Very creative with your choice of paint colors, economical as well. $6.00 a quart, great bargain, compared to $3-5 dollars for a little 1/3oz or 1/2 oz bottle!
Looking forward to seeing your next steps of your finishing. Thanks for sharing your pics! What's your imaginery friends think?

Cheers-

Tim

Looks nice . I'm working on the same kit and hope it comes out half as nice Bob

Hey mate good to see you over here !!

Get that baby circulated amongst the sites, she's a good looker.

It's me again.
I just wanted to Thank Everybody for their comments.
It's very encouraging for us novice builders to know
we're on the right path and are willing to give us a little
of your time.

Very Appreciative
...Tony...

At this point i've got all the dodads painted or preprimed for paint.
I sprayed her all down with Future this morning.

I was looking at her a few minutes ago and realized I don't know where
the fuel and oil filler caps are,kinda makes it tough to put stains around
these.

Can someone out there point these caps out for me?

I'd be thankful to you
..Tony..

Tony ,Tony ,Tony....So this is where you've been hiding this build ....hmmmm ...Looks pretty darn nice to me ...If I'd have found this before I might have told you to paint the barrel a dark grey instead of primer as it seems the latest info has the barrels covered in a heat resistant grey paint . Other than that great job sir ...congrats on the first armor kit and I'll be watching this one as you progress ...Good job bud!

Rick

Well all I can say Rich is:

"You're Lookin for Love in All the Wrong Places"



BTW,I found out where the dang gas cap is

...Tony the Mutt..

"You're Lookin for Love in All the Wrong Places"

Better not tell my wife that!!!
Now on to the weathering ...Here's where thing just get started

Rick

I put the wash on today and this is about as dark as I want it
at this point.
Do I let this dry overnight before I add my rain and rust streaks?

After that do I proceed to the dirt?
Then flat spray and then the dusting?



I'm done in just after that.
...Mutt...

Amazing work for a first tank build

Tony,,,, Now your cooking....You need to drive that thing through the woods and leave it out in the rain looking good.. Monty

This looks very good. Are you sure this is only your first tank build?....

Looking forward to see more

Yep, it's just beginners luck.

No way Monty,this baby will stay parked in the garage.

...Thanks folks...
...Mutt...

I hope your beginers luck dosn't run out. Nice Jagdtiger there. Way to go.

You are doing a beautiful job Keep it up , Bob

needs more pics , monty

Not before its time.

You paint a little and wait for it to dry,paint a little and wait for it to dry.
I've just about got All Quite On the Western Front read just waiting.

I did some chipping,scuffing and mud today. Tomorrow we'll see a
wash of buff and maybe some earth then the rain and a few rust streaks.

Sure be glad when this first one is behind me.
....Mutt....

Very well done. See, isn't this a fun hobby?

You bet ya, i'm just beside myself.
